  Hey English learners, welcome to another phrasal verb episode.

• 00:04

  I hope you're doing great and that you're ready to learn two new phrasal verbs today.

• 00:10

  The first one is crack up and the second one is crank out.

• 00:16

  So first, let me define these phrasal verbs and give you an example of each one.

• 00:23

  Crack up means to burst into laughter.

• 00:27

  In other words, you suddenly start laughing.

• 00:32

  For example, I could say he cracked up when he heard the joke.

• 00:37

  In this sentence, I'm saying that he suddenly started laughing.

• 00:42

  He burst into laughter when he heard the joke.

• 00:46

  So that's crack up.

• 00:49

  Crank out means to produce something rapidly and mechanically with no special effort.

• 00:57

  For example, I could say students have to crank out essay after essay in that class.

• 01:05

  Here, I'm saying that students have to write many, many essays very frequently.

• 01:13

  They have to produce this work over and over again in that class.

• 01:19

  So it's a very rapid and mechanical effort.

• 01:24

  Like maybe it doesn't take them a lot of effort.

• 01:29

  They just do the assignment and then do the next one.

• 01:34

  They don't even have a lot of time probably.

• 01:37

  So that is crank out.

• 01:40

  So now I'm going to use these two phrasal verbs over and over again while talking about a couple different things.
